THE LATEST COMSTOCK VICTIMS
How the COrpses Of the EntOmbet
Miners Were Lying.

wAucEs were LYING
Virginia New Chronicle.l
Foster Hamilton was the first vlc-
tim encountered. He was lying OIL
his right side near the car track on
the floor of the drift, with the head
pointed south. He had on a wooden
shirt and pair of overalls. His face
was against the south side of the drift,
as though he had turned that way to
get air. He was the only one of the
victims who wore shirt.
Tregallis was lying on his breast a
short distance further north. The
upper part of his body was bare.
Dougherty was lying diagonally
across the drift with his head pointed
north. Near him was the top of his
dinner bucket, containing his silver
watch, which had stopped at &c min
utes past o'clock, In his hand was
q small piece of cotton cloth, which
he had evidently held over his mouth.
These first three bodies were lying on
the track floor Of the drift.
Just north of this point a mass of
rock and earth had caved down, fill
ing the drift to within two feet of the
roof. On the lower part of this mass
Of caved matter Jeffrey was reclining
against the east side of the drift with
his head resting on his hand in half
sitting posture.
Kennedy was lying a little higher
up on the pile of caved earth, his
body stretched diagonally across the
drift. Convenient to his had lay an
AK.
Eddy, the sixth victim, was lying
on top Of the pile of caved earth, his
body being only a few inches below
the roof of the drift. His right leg
was drawn up, and under his right
arm was a shovel.
The skin of the victims bodies was
about the color of tanned leather, dry
and crusty, and resembled that of
mummies. Fractures were found in
numerous places in the cuticle, where
it is supposed to have burst and let
the gas out of the bodies, which were
undoubtedly swelled to an abnormal
size soon after death. The features
were easily recognizable, and there
was no indication that the victims
had died in great agony. Physicians
are of the opinion that death was
painless. 1t is now thought that the
victims died the same night of the fire.
The fact that they were scattered in.
dicates that they were still endeavor-
ing to escape from the deadly gas
when death overlook them.
